Episode. 33 Spread like wildfire (2)
Tassar took a deep breath.
Fresh air filled the lungs, and fresh energy tickled the heart.
It was like being held in the arms of a mother. No, that’s right.
Because from this moment on, this place has been a garden.
“… … .”
However, the elves, including Tassar, had no choice but to lower their heads with sorrowful expressions on their faces.
Even though they were in the garden they cherished so much, for some reason the dark shadows did not go away from their faces.
Is this really the right thing to do?
Can I trust humans?
It was concern and concern that was hidden in front of Adelgarten and Richard.
Even so, it was only a belated regret.
When Tassar raised his head, only the green magic circle was shining miserably. Since the jade body had sprung up on this land, there was no reason for Adelgarten to exist as a mental body.
“mother.”
A tired, weary voice leaked out.
“Does Mother want harmony between us and other races?”
There was no answer to that sad voice.
Instead, the screams of uninvited revelers came from afar.
dare! Where is this place?
Ta’sar and the elves wore masks, with hoods pressed deep over them.
In any case, from now on this land is a garden, a sanctuary for the Great Mother.
“We are watchmen, we are gardeners.”
It is not possible to entrust the protection of the garden to unreliable people only.
Their bodies cried out for a break from the hard work, but they left the room with their tired bodies.
The air outside the citadel was overheated.
The elves climbed onto the walls of Rio Castle, where the entire army was clamoring and clamoring.
And what caught their eyes.
“Shoot! Don’t let even one of them climb!”
“Pour holy water!”
Commanders and knights shouting with red faces, and soldiers busily moving according to their orders.
Its courageous and majestic spirit encompassed the entire wall.
Today’s humans were watchmen guarding the garden, and guillotines to punish enemies who invaded the sanctuary.
That was half the duty and privilege of the people of Rio Castle.
Shu Shu Shu Shuk-!
A curtain of arrows poured down with fierce force poured down as a shower.
The plague monsters hit by the ferocious rain couldn’t overcome the pain and twisted their bodies.
Holy water pours down like a waterfall on the one who tries to drive his claws into the castle wall.
Then he fell down screaming in pain as if he had been burned.
“Don’t be afraid! We protect this castle!”
“Kill them all!”
Even the fearful soldiers encouraged each other as if I were a general. Their bravery, which spread like wildfire, was high and solid.
“… … .”
The elves who watched the scene were speechless. Their appearance overlapped with those humans, but they tried to ignore it.
It’s ironic indeed.
The karma and passion of the elves, which had been built up while dealing with humans and other races, were now rising from humans.
The elves spread out over the castle wall, suppressing their complicated feelings.
“I will give you an escort!”
One of the commanders who spotted Ta’sar and the elves shouted in the distance.
At that, Tassar looked down over the wall and murmured.
“How can a watchman need a watchman?”
That little monologue was drowned out by the noise of the battlefield and no one could hear it.
However, the commander who tried to attach an escort soon realized that they did not need an escort.
Kwakwagwang.
A sudden explosion shook the battlefield. The ship was faster than usual and powerful magic.
The ones who enjoy the most privileges here are the elves.
They are watchmen, they are gardeners. I didn’t need anyone’s help in this garden.
“The one who disturbed the sanctuary. You will not be able to escape condemnation.”
The magic of the elves who were said to love peace was like a punishment for the revelers who broke the peace.
Hot flames swept the ground, and lightning struck. Dozens or hundreds of monsters caught in its tracks died.
And it wasn’t just the elves who guarded the gardens of this land.
“Open the gate!”
The cry of the lord of the castle of Ord burst out of nowhere.
Kirik.
The heavy, massive gates begin to rise.
The gathered knights couldn’t hide their excitement and shook their bodies.
Some went so far as to grapple to get a better seat.
“Hey, this is my seat. Look where you are!”
Richard, who occupied the forefront of the assault force, was like that, and Abalt, who was glancing at him, was like that.
Soon the south gate of Rio Castle was fully opened.
“Kueek-!”
The monsters who were screaming screamed at the wide open castle gate.
It was possible that their ferocious charge would break their spirits, but the assault force, facing them, only held onto their blades.
thump.
My heart was beating wildly.
I didn’t feel any fear.
The strength and vitality in my body were too rich for that, and the momentum that spread like wildfire didn’t seem to subside.
The knights looked at Richard with burning eyes.
“We are the watchmen who keep.”
Richard’s voice was not loud, but it was clearer than anything in the ears of the focused knights.
The momentum of the knights seemed to pierce the sky at the voice of indomitable will.
The assault force moved toward the enemies who were about to pass through the gate.
That step soon became a charge, a gale that drove the revelers away.
The monsters that had rushed forward were torn into a thousand and ten thousand pieces.
The knights who trampled on the filthy corpse continued forward without stopping.
Numerous monsters rushed through the gates, but were unable to cross the knights and became corpses.
“charge! Charge!”
The knights, whose bodies and minds were accelerating, rushed out of the castle gate and started cutting through the red waves.
thud.
The castle gate closed a beat late.
“Kie, kieek!”
When even the knights whose momentum seemed to pierce the sky were put into the battlefield where overwhelming firepower was being poured out, the red ramblers were swept away like autumn leaves.
“… … .”
Tassar’s eyes, pouring magic on top of the castle wall, followed Richard as he stirred the battlefield.
And even the knights following him.
It seemed as if they were burning up to the top of the castle wall with the momentum they exuded.
It was so funny.
They were the kind of people who were so uncomfortable, so why do they heat up even themselves with the momentum they exude?
Tassar turned to look at the rest of his people. I couldn’t see her expression because she was wearing a mask, but her trembling fingertips represented her feelings.
◈ ◈ ◈
The knights plowed through the red waves.
Slashed with a sword, pierced with a spear, and moved forward.
It was like swimming in the mud of a plague, but no one’s body was stained black.
protection of the garden.
There was no place left for the plague to spread its beasts on the bodies of those who received the blessing of the World Tree.
Awesome!
Richard, who had become the brunt of the assault force, swung his sword. Dirty blood flowed down the white and sharp blade of the white ghost.
The white ghost that gobbled up the blood let out a cry.
If it was usual, I would have suppressed it with faith because it was ominous and ugly, but today, on the contrary, I encouraged the cry.
The hideous crimson madness began to seep out through the sword.
Soon, the magical energy welled up.
“Kill! Kill them all!”
“Don’t let even one of them live!”
The eyes of the stormtroopers who cut down the monsters were dazzled. The sharp blade was very ferocious.
The madness that arose from the front swallowed up the entire rear end of the assault force.
Losing reason on the battlefield is never a good thing.
However, this is a garden.
Even that terrible madness was only replaced by bravery, so even though the knights were crazy, they did not lose their faith or lose their mission.
I just wanted to protect the garden with all my might.
“Lanterns give light!”
“We who stand by him are also lamps!”
The shouts of the stormtroopers echoed across the battlefield.
That majestic roar reached the top of the castle wall and knocked on the hearts of the men.
“Darkness cannot swallow even the slightest thread of light!”
“In the end, my body just faded!”
The soldiers and knights who inherited the roar of the assault force sang with all their might as if they could not lose.
The song never ended, so much so that it overshadowed all the noise of the battlefield.
“Wow!”
Arrows filled with holy oil rained down endlessly. The muzzle of the cannon fires non-stop, and the strength of the spears of the soldiers is exerted.
The more he uttered the song, the more he became enraged. It was no different from the tradition of the elves.
Just hearing it set fire to the battle, and just spitting it out made my strength rise.
“It’s amazing too.”
“This… … .”
And it was the same with the elves.
thump.
Mana surged madly from the rapidly beating heart.
Everyone here was a watchman guarding the garden, and a believer in Hor.
Elves felt a psychic connection with humans.
A link between the two races.
I don’t know if it was a bond or what, but it was awkward and awkward for the elves.
But first it was to deal with the revelers who had invaded the garden.
They suppressed their complicated feelings and drew a magic circle.
◈ ◈ ◈
The long battle is over.
Red corpses filled the front of Rio Castle.
However, there were no corpses on the wall, so it was a great victory for Rio Castle.
Whoop whoop.
The men, breathing heavily, looked up at the sky.
In the high sky, there was a magic circle that encompassed the entire castle.
I turned my head and looked at the fort.
The trees that wrapped around the majestic fortress were very gigantic and emitted a divine light.
“… … .”
There is no one who roars of victory anew and trembles.
Those who had been staring at the world tree turned their heads again.
The elves, including Tassar, pulled their hoods a little deeper.
From noble mtl dot com
This is because it was difficult to endure the countless gazes directed at them.
“Um… … .”
“ah… … .”
Where did the momentum that had been so hot go, only an awkward current lingered around Rio Castle.
Breaking the awkwardness and silence, the Lord of Ord Castle opened his mouth.
“I won’t say anything. For that to happen, your grudge and history must be too deep and cruel.”
The lord of Ord made eye contact with the elves who were looking at me. The eyes that tried to pretend to be calm were trembling slightly.
Elf history.
The lord of the castle was well aware of how many invasions and raids they suffered from humans.
And I couldn’t not know what they were feeling right now.
When I first heard about the garden’s relocation plan from Richard, I couldn’t believe it.
The owner of the castle swallowed his bitter taste and continued.
“I swear to honor Hor. We will definitely protect this garden, and we will keep our trust with you.”
To say thank you, to apologize on behalf of humans.
You don’t need all of that. Their wounds are too deep to be able to do anything with a few shallow words.
I just swear
Seongju said so. I believed that it was the word that could give them the most trust.
Rather than flashy rhetoric, only short and bold words were needed.
Both humans and elves in Rio Castle.
visor!
The Knights of the Alliance raised their blades.
The momentum that bloomed firmly seemed to express faith.
“… … .”
The elves didn’t respond.
The eyes that shook beyond the mask turned to the outside of the castle wall. An assault force was approaching from afar.
“The word that I swear to Hor. don’t forget.”
Seeing Richard trudge along, Tassar said so.
